34 Preparation for Chunin Exams! (1/2)

Team 11 is currently waiting on their sensei who told them to come to training ground 8. Two of the genin at training ground 11 had an irritated look on their face, while one had a less than noticeable face of irritation. Esumi was about to stomp her foot and shout in rage before seeing a swirl of leaves appeared in front of the trio.

”Good news Team 11! I have nominated you three for the chunin exams.” Ko said with a peaceful smile on his face.

The reactions of his three genin weren't the ones he was expecting. He expected them to show normal genin reactions to having their sensei nominate them for the chunin exams and cheer and shout and thank him. All his did was stare at him.

”About time. Finally something fun to do.” Esumi said.

”I agree. Being a chunin will give us access to higher level jutsus in the library as well. And we won't have to listen to anyone except the hokage mostly.” Jabie agreed.

”There better be good fighters there. The other villages will have stronger fighters than we have here.” Aomatsuna said.

”Well anyway here are your applications. You are to sign those papers and turn them in at room 301 by 4pm tomorrow.” Ko said before body flickering away.

As soon as Ko left Esumi shouted in excitement.

”Awesome!! My new swords are ready tomorrow as well! I can't wait to put them to good use!”

”I can finally test some experiments that would be much more easily attainable if I use them on enemy shinobi!” Jabie concurred.

The three excited children soon dispersed and headed off to do their own thing in preparation for the chunin exams tomorrow.

*WITH ESUMI*

Esumi is walking towards the blacksmith who was creating her 3 swords to make sure they will be ready for tomorrow. On her way to the blacksmith she noticed an increase in shinobi. After she took a look at their headbands, she noticed that there were many different symbols on them. This only served to make her even more excited about tomorrow.

She reached the blacksmith's shop and noticed no one was at the counter. She heard banging in the back of the shop. She really wanted to go investigate, but her babies would possibly at risk if she interrupted the blacksmith and he made a mistake with her swords. She would never be able to forgive herself if she ruined her own stuff. So she decided to leave and ultimately accomplish nothing. Esumi didn't have anything in her kit that would be able to get information from a distance.

As she was walking out of the shop she ran into a girl with two buns on her head and pink blouse. Esumi recognized this girl as the one she whooped this morning. Esumi was surprised to see her looking so healthy despite how badly she got beat earlier. Tenten ignored Esumi and walked right into blacksmith shop and yelled ”HEY DAD I'M BACK!” A loud crash was heard in the backroom causing both Esumi and the blacksmith to be startled.

”HEY WHAT ARE YOU DOING MY BABIES ARE BEING WORKED ON BACK THERE! IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO THEM I'LL SEND YOU BACK TO THE HOSPITAL!” Esumi yelled in a panic.

Tenten looked at the strange small girl who somehow knew she came from the hospital and ignored her. She laughed before heading into the back of the blacksmith shop to see what her dad was up to. This pissed Esumi off and she decided to take a look back there also. Her babies could've been harmed!

Tenten tried to stop the little blue haired girl before being shoved out of the way easily by her. Her eyes opened in shock at the strength the little girl just showed. She knew she didn't weigh that much, but she definitely knows she isn't weak enough to have just any kid push her around. She tried to catch up to the punk hair styled little girl who was already inside their smithy, but she was too slow.

”Hey you drunk bum! You didn't hurt my babies did you!?” Esumi shouted. The only response that was given to her was a bellowing laughter.

”If you don't give me an answer consider this shop the property of the Blade Demoness from now on!” Esumi threatened.

”Yea yea ya loud mouth brat I got your order done. But before I do that.” He says before taking a swig of alcohol.

”You got enough money to cover this order right?” He asked.

”Did you forget that I paid already?! Is all that alcohol destroying your brain cells faster?!” Esumi shouted.

”Oh. O yeah that's right. Well alright brat follow me. They're in the back.” Tenten's dad says as he started to walk towards the back of the smithy.

The two walked towards a lit-up metal table only to noticed three blades of very different sizes laying upon it. One blade of the three blades on the table is actively denting in the metal desk, straining the metal table due to its enormous weight. The second blade seems to be shaped rather differently than normal swords, it resembled more of a metal pipe than that of a sword. The third blade was a standard rapier with a flowery hilt.

Esumi's face beamed in elation. She dived on the table and shoved two of the swords in her storage sheathe. She couldn't pick up the heavy blade so she slid her storage sheathe over it and sucked it inside. The blacksmith just looked at the tiny child in amazement. He wondered just how something so small could hold something so heavy. But he quickly got over it and took another sip of his booze and chalked it up to ninja stuff.

Esumi ran out of the smithy and headed towards the Forest of Death to immediately start training with the blades.

*WITH JABIE*

Jabie is standing over an incapacitated bear whose tendons and muscle tissues were cut, rendering its arms and legs useless currently. The bear roared at Jabie despite being immobilized. Jabie noticed a strange desperation in the bear's roar that wasn't like that of a normal animal struggling. He looked around in his surroundings and noticed two bear cubs growling in his direction. His eyebrows perked in interest and surprise. He didn't even sense the two despite the small bloodlust being directed at him by them.
